Default Houston: Rare 996 TurboS with PCCB - in Depth ;)
I didn't know this car was a relatively rare sighting, so I didn't share with everyone - I mean it's just another 911 - right?

Here it is for your enjoyment

nice car but i don't like those rims.... i would definitely change them if this car would belong to me.
it's nice to see how the disc-changer is placed in this car, in my car it's mounted upside down. this way it's more practical to change the cd's.

Its not a street or any other kind of sighting. it's a one on one In Depth ..

Since I drove the car as well, I may as well call it a "Quick Drive Road Test"

Not that I got to actually thrash the car, but I know from past experience it is not. It weighs more and makes less power

I am sure on track whom ever is braver/better/stupider will run quicker in the car they are more familiar with on their home track especially.

^^ That blue is nice isn't it?

So deep and very blue.

I prefer it to some of the other more pale blues that Porsche has.
